In this quick video, Blake Coen, Eric Maddox, and David Coreen talk through a possible scenario that could happen during a job interview. In this video, they show how a possible employer could react if you happen to bad mouth a previous employer. This shows why you should never badmouth a previous employer, as well as giving an example of an appropriate answer.

Research information about the company and the person or people who will be interviewing you. It’s always good to have as much knowledge as possible. It shows that you took the time to learn more about them, and have genuine interest in their firm.

Let’s set the scene: You have an interview at 10:00 a.m. You arrive about 15 minutes early, like the great candidate you are. But did you know that your interview actually starts when you first enter the lobby? As soon as you introduce yourself to the receptionist, your interview has officially begun.

It’s tough enough standing out in a crowded field of candidates. Now that your resume has someone’s attention, could this be the job of your dreams or will your actions turn it into a nightmare? You want to ensure you make a good impression, but it’s not just what you say that can land you or cost you this job. It’s just as important to realize what not to say and do. Your words, actions and body language all are part of that job interview.

We have seen our fair share of interviews go poorly because of improper dress. You may very well be the most qualified candidate, but imagine if someone less qualified got the job because that person wore a suit and you wore jeans and a polo shirt. You just don’t get a second chance to make a first impression!

A very helpful tip is to dress a notch above what is expected for the position. Even in a business casual environment, arriving in formal business attire works to your advantage because it reflects your respect for the interviewer and company.

Job seekers in recent years are faced with intense competition for career opportunities. The ability to effectively communicate your abilities to employers during an interview is very important. Employers spend a lot of time and resources in the recruiting and interviewing process.
